Sorry, what do you mean 'join' those files? My workflow is like the
following:

   1. open a c source file in an emacs buffer
   2. M-x ps-print-buffer-with-face
   3. Now, a generated PDF file can be found in my $HOME/PDF/ directory
   4. Open this PDF file with xpdf. It looks pretty good before my last
   system upgrade
   5. I crop this PDF file with pdfcrop, and then insert the final cropped
   PDF into my latex beamer slides with \includegraphics Macro

After my last apt-get upgrade, the generated PDF file looks no good. And
xpdf generates an error message repeatedly. The message is:

Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph


An example PDF output is attached with this email.

I googled, and found that it seems cups-pdf is to be blamed.

I know the PDF backend of ps-print in emacs is cups-pdf. So I also tried
replace my current /usr/lib/cups/filter directory with another older
version. But after the replacement, ps-print cannot output anything.

That's all I can tell for now. If any information I can provide, let me
know.

cheers.
